Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients for the marinade in a bowl and whisk together until combined.

  3. Place all ingredients for the vinaigrette in a jar, seal and shake. Set aside for later.
  4. Heat up grill or grill pan and grease. Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade. Place on hot grill pan, sprinkle with salt, cook 5-7 minutes per side, until grill marks show up and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Slice
  5. Add all ingredients for the salad in a large bowl. Add chicken then pour over desired amount of vinaigrette (a little goes a long way). Toss to coat all the salad ingredients then eat up!
